Lucid Trading vs FundedNext Futures: prop firm rules compared

Lucid Trading's LucidDaily (intraday eval) plan trails the drawdown intraday: the floor follows the highest balance the account reaches during the session, open profit included, and never moves back down — a winning trade given back before it is closed still lifts it. For example, at Lucid Trading's LucidDaily (intraday eval) plan a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $48,000, $2,000 under the start.

On Lucid Trading's LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDaily (EOD eval) and LucidDirect plans and FundedNext Futures the drawdown trails at end of day: the floor is recalculated once, from the closing balance, so open profit given back during the session does not raise it — but equity touching the floor during the session still counts. For example, at Lucid Trading's LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDaily (EOD eval) and LucidDirect plans and FundedNext Futures a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $48,000, $2,000 under the start.

On Lucid Trading's LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDaily (EOD eval) and LucidDirect plans and FundedNext Futures the trailing floor stops rising once it reaches breakeven and stays there.

A soft daily loss limit pauses the day instead of failing the account: reach it and open positions are flattened, trading stops until the next session, and the account stays open. Lucid Trading's LucidPro, LucidDaily (EOD eval), LucidDaily (intraday eval) and LucidDirect plans set it at $1,200 on $50,000 and FundedNext Futures' Rapid Daily plan sets it at $1,000 on $50,000. Lucid Trading's LucidFlex plan and FundedNext Futures' Rapid Pro and Flex plans have no daily loss limit, so a losing day is bounded only by the max drawdown.

Lucid Trading and FundedNext Futures start the trading day at the same moment, 6:00 PM ET (5:00 PM CT); a daily loss limit counts from that reset, not from midnight.

A consistency rule caps how much of the total profit one day may carry. Lucid Trading's LucidFlex plan and FundedNext Futures' Flex plan cap any single day at 40% of total profit, so it takes at least 3 profitable days to finish inside the rule. One day may then carry at most $1,000 of a $2,500 target and $1,200 of a $3,000 target. Lucid Trading's LucidDaily (EOD eval) and LucidDaily (intraday eval) plans cap any single day at 50% of total profit, so it takes at least 2 profitable days to finish inside the rule. One day may then carry at most $1,500 of a $3,000 target. Lucid Trading's LucidDirect plan caps any single day at 20% of total profit, so it takes at least 5 profitable days to finish inside the rule. One day may then carry at most $600 of a $3,000 target. Lucid Trading's LucidPro plan and FundedNext Futures' Rapid Pro and Rapid Daily plans apply no consistency rule in the evaluation, so one large day can count in full.

FundedNext Futures sets no minimum number of days.

On automated trading — a strategy or bot sending the orders — at Lucid Trading it is allowed in the evaluation and on a funded account; FundedNext Futures has no written answer on record. Written answers: Lucid Trading (read Oct 21, 2026).

Lucid Trading and FundedNext Futures differ on 2 of the evaluation rules compared here: drawdown model and consistency rule. If your trades often run into open profit that you give back before closing them, start with the drawdown: Lucid Trading trails intraday or at end of day, depending on the plan, while FundedNext Futures trails at end of day. If one or two large days make up most of your profit, the consistency rule sets how fast you can finish: Lucid Trading caps one day at 20–50% of total profit on some plans and has no cap on others; FundedNext Futures caps one day at 40% of total profit on some plans and has no cap on others.

Once funded, the profit split is 90/10 at Lucid Trading and 90% (Rapid Pro / Daily) · 95% (Flex) at FundedNext Futures. Payout terms — Lucid Trading: On request once eligible; FundedNext Futures: Rapid Pro every 3 days · Rapid Daily daily · Flex 5 Benchmark Days. Lucid Trading sells 4 plans: LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDaily and LucidDirect; FundedNext Futures sells 3 plans: Rapid Pro, Rapid Daily and Flex. Each plan carries its own version of the rules above, which is why they are listed plan by plan. If a strategy or bot will send your orders, Lucid Trading's written answer is allowed in the evaluation and on a funded account, and FundedNext Futures has no written answer on record.
